Isi artikel

This article sets out to assist curriculum developers in creating courses that reflect a balanced understanding of the current theoretical and technological picture of teacher education for students of CALL. It looks mostly at technological contributions to courseware development from a Web 2.0 (social computing) perspective, but does not exclude traditional Web 1.0 technologies. In a similar way, following Sfard, Bax and others, it considers both ‘acquisition’ and ‘participation’ metaphors as relevant to course development as well as the literature on adult learning processes. It shows how this is manifested in practice via three vignettes, which provide an insight into how the agenda can be applied effectively in the practice of teacher education for CALL.
